Landing at the World's Most Dangerous Tenzing-Hillary Lukla Airport (2800m) - Day 4.4

[@Teri_Berk]

It was very nice of pilot to bring the window curtain down after he saw the passenger trying to film out of that window. Not to mention the magnificent view of the mountains.

[@aumarigan]

It wasn't for the benifit of the passenger filming. It's part of the approach and before landing checklist.

Respect 🗿

[@Bohnzye]

And again, "Respect", These types of pilot skills only come from thorough knowledge of these mountain elevations and years of experience. Amazing.

[@Harald-]

And balls of steel!

[@BenErikNess]

Cool video! Was there in 85... The runway was grass and gravel... And the pilots are world class!

[@rvnmedic1968]

Loads of skill and nerves of steel. Fighting mountain air currents and the hazardous approach of the runway was awesome. I swear his wheels were only inches above the threshold when he landed. Thanks for filming that, Aleksandr! Cheers from Syracuse, NY! Bob

[@earlhowardiii8277]

Could not have said it any better

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

Not to mention you have no choice of landing or takeoff direction, regardless of wind conditions

[@amarissimus29]

Cripes, I bet a go-around that requires a mining license is a decent motivator.

[@brianvittachi6869]

Beautiful scenery on approach. That pilot make it look like he is driving a taxi on city streets. Thanks for the upload.

[@handsupbud]

Man o man it sure looked like he was coming in hot as heck. I recently got Microsoft Flightsim 2020 and the realism of landing at this airport is unbelivable. My hats off to the pilots who actually fly the real approach and get it right.

[@davidedmundson8402]

The perception of speed is relative to the airport setting, which here is extremely tight. At a jetport with a 150 foot wide 10,000 foot long runway it would feel much slower.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

@@davidedmundson8402 Remember that IAS and TAS are more differentiated by altitude.

[@fghgffgvbgh]

Brilliant video and hats off to the pilot

[@kimmingsiew3783]

One hundred percents of concentration to pilot the plane into the narrow mountain airport run way. Congratulation for the splendid skillful landing.

[@davidcsolano7269]

All my respect and admiration for such an amazing pilot!

[@iamarine]

I noticed how the pilot was constantly scanning his instruments, especially his turn and bank, artificial horizon and his airspeed. Uis eyes were constantly moving, 100% focused on his task. Great job and great video. I only wish the camera was out the middle of the windshield but yiu can only do what is available. Grwat job!!!❤

[@PDZ1122]

I guarantee he did not look at his artificial horizon during this kind of approach. Totally irrelevant and pointless.

[@tomarmstrong1281]

That was a true example of 'seat of the pants' flying. The combination of changing winds, both vertical and horizontal, caused by the proximity of the mountains demands that the handling pilot adopt the same instinct as a bird to immediately correct by vision and feel. Well done, sir.

[@soujrnr]

Very nicely done! The view is gorgeous as well! Thanks for sharing this!

[@sandrineowen]

I love watching the professionalism ! ... Thank you for these magnificent landscapes seen from the plane.

[@FlyingRagilein]

Whoa. What an approach! I was curious about the go-around procedure and just googled it up: If the info that I found is correct, then after crossing the Dudkoshi River (which should be around 4:00 in the video), you are committed to land because there is no safe room for turning around anymore.

[@yakbreeder]

I remember a documentary years ago about Everest climbers, it mentioned the no go-around at Lukla. Kind of frightening to think about.

[@timoleary92]

I've gone around many, many times there. .....in MS Flight Simulator 2020 🤣

Excelente video!! Muy bien logrado!! GRACIAS !!! Saludos desde Argentina!! 🇦🇷

[@KiloBravo90]

I don't think I'll ever see a landing this exciting. The way he was controlling that yoke while entering such a daring approach is short of Legendary Mode.

[@PDZ1122]

You mean like, with his hands? How else would he be manipulating the yoke? With his teeth?

[@jonjon7311]

WOW !!! That really hits home how difficult and vital it is to get it right !! Great video. Thanks 😍

That was a razor sharp precision landing. This guy can land that aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier, so precise is his flying!

At first I was thinking he was coming to HOT for landing but he knew what he was doing, nice landing and flying .

[@p.barbosa1895]

Good on feet and hands (how we say here in Brasil)

[@stanvanillo9831]

I don't think many people understand how badass those pilots are.

Landed there in 1990 when there was flying gravel and stones and grass..............Best holiday of my life.

[@asono11]

Gosh, even landing at this airport in Flight Simulator gives me chills. Can’t imagine how it must feel like to do it for real.

[@chuckh9168]

I have tried and failed several times now (rookie sim pilot), making the mistake of trying to come in from a more easterly route.

[@iamarine]

​@@chuckh9168I used to fly all of the MS flight Sims throughout the years with FSX being the last. I learned how to use SIDS and STARS as well as approach plates and would actually do flight planning for my online flights on VATSIM. I had flown into Lukla many times using the approach plates. The real life pilots who land there have to have specialized training to do so and have a special license specifically to land at that airport

[@georgeblackley6028]

Best video of this ever.

[@jim373]

I have just attempted this on MSFS 2020 in VR after flying around and over Everest (the only way I'm going to get even remotely close to this area), absolutely spectacular and only took 5 attempts to land and then park the plane :^)) One of my failures was keeping enough forward momentum to get up the final steep slope at the end of the runway just before turning right into the parking ramp area. This final slope (at least in MSFS) is much steeper than it appeared in the video and on one of my attempts I managed to get the plane on the ground under control but then rolled back down this slope and the plane tipped up and therefore crashed, luckily an imaginary plane in an imaginary world, but still very exciting. Having made repeated attempts I thought I would watch how it was supposed to be done and was gladdened to see my route of entry was about the same and my approach, etc. was similar(ish) just that the real pilot looked much more in control and relaxed than I had been on any of my attempts. (P.S. I have flown real aircraft in my youth but no longer in my dotage.)

[@aleksahak]

Thanks for sharing your experience Jim. MSFS is so realistic! And you have also flown actual iron birds. That is awesome!!! Taking classes and getting a pilot license is one of my dreams. Re appearing next to Everest: you never know. A few months before the video was recorded I would myself just seriously laugh at the idea that I would EVER be there, so never say never, especially if you are capable of travelling in the most important place that matters - your mind!
